Diagnosis represents only one aspect of tuberculosis (TB) control but is perhaps one of the
most challenging. The drawbacks of current tools highlight several unmet needs in TB …

Globally, tuberculosis (TB) still remains a major public health problem. India is a high TB
burden country contributing to 26 per cent of global TB burden. During 1944-1980, TB …

We have projected and fabricated a microfluidic platform for DNA sensing that makes use of
an optical colorimetric detection method based on gold nanoparticles. The platform was …

Under laser radiation, cells labeled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are believed to suffer
thermal damage due to the transfer of the absorbed light from the AuNPs to the cells. This …

In this study, we developed a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) DNA biosensor method
using surface-anchored rolling circle amplification (RCA) and Au nanoparticles modified …

Background Tuberculosis accounted for 8.7 million new cases in 2011 and continues to be
one of the leading human infectious diseases. Burdensome is the increasing rate of multi …

The very strong optical resonances of plasmonic nanostructures can be harnessed for
sensitive detection of chemical and biomolecular analytes in small volumes. Here we …

Introduction: Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one of the most significant
neurodegenerative diseases amongst the autosomal-recessive genetic disorders which is …

As placas de microtitulação, ou microplacas são uma ferramenta padrão em laboratórios de
diagnóstico clínico e investigação analítica. Atualmente possuem medidas padronizadas …

The main objective of this thesis was to study the fluorescence modulation induced by gold
nanoparticles (AuNPs) on fluorophores nearby and/or bonded to the AuNPs' surface through …
